US IGNITE CELEBRATES THE LAUNCH OF THE FORT CARSON SMART TRANSPORTATION TESTBED
We are pleased to announce a brand new program in the US Ignite portfolio. On October 10, we kicked off a smart transportation testbed and autonomous vehicle (AV) pilot program in coordination with Fort Carson, neighboring Colorado Springs, and the University of Colorado’s Research and Engineering Center for Unmanned Vehicles (RECUV).
This $4 million endeavor is funded by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), and is designed to use research with AVs and sensor-based technologies to help the Department of Defense reduce transportation costs, improve public safety, and deliver faster services on military installation sites. |
